This 2008 civic hybrid is in great shape and drives perfectly.  It has a clean california title.  It was a well maintained 1 owner vehicle with lots of highway miles when we bought, and we sought it out because my fiance needed a reliable vehicle for her sales job with high MPG.  Its been great for us, but unfortunately she needs a slightly larger vehicle for work.  We just had it serviced with new brakes front and back (including reconditioning and replacement of rotors), serpentine belt(s?), engine and cabin air filter, and an oil change.  

As mentioned in the condition section, it does has a few small scraps and dings that you might expect from a vehicle with higher mileage.  also has one longer scrape along the passenger side which is hard to notice (almost impossible to see in the pictures), but does cause the passenger door to catch a bit when opening it, and the side mirror mount was knocked loose.  we reattached the mirror, which was not cracked or chipped at all, and it is pretty secure.  The mirror controls still work perfectly, and the mirror is perfect, but the whole piece no longer bends in (like you might do for a tight parking spot).

The IMA/engine light comes on and off(IMA is honda's hybrid Integrated Motor Assist), and sometimes the battery charge will go from full to zero then slowly recharge, but wether the light is on or off we've still gotten close to 45 mpg on highway trips. (see the pictures for shots of the trip and MPG during a drive down to san diego when the light was on, then turned off)

(for california residents:  this car requires NO SMOG, and is registered until dec 2014, with zero DMV fees owed.  I don't know if other states require emissions/smog from hybrid vehicles)

This is a really terrific and reliable car, and has honda's unbeatable reputation and resale value.
The auction is pick up only, but i wouldn't hesitate to drive this car across the country and can arrange delivery with a service like uship, or possibly even deliver it myself for a fee.
Feel free to ask any questions!

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

McLaren working on P15 supercar to slot between 650S and P1

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

McLaren has been busy these past few years. It launched the MP4-12C in 2011, the 12C Spider in 2012, the P1 in 2013 and (most recently) the 650S in 2014. But it's not about to stop there. It's got an "entry-level" model in the works, set to take on the Porsche 911, and - according to information reported by Car and Driver and confirmed by McLaren in correspondence with Autoblog - a new flagship model, too.
The project is internally codenamed P15, and it calls for a new flagship that will cap the company's lineup once the P1 finishes its limited production run, but carry a price tag in the neighborhood of $500k to slot in between the P1 and the new 650S.
Just how, you wonder, can McLaren possibly develop another supercar each year? Simple: underneath, they're all essentially the same. (Only we're sure it's anything but simple.) That is to say they're all based on the same carbon monocoque structure and powered by the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels. What differentiates them is what the engineers in Woking build around that monocoque and how they tune the engine: +/- 600 horsepower in the 12C (depending on the year it was built), 640 hp in the 650S, or 727 hp in the P1 (with another 177 from the electric assist). The 911 fighter would likely develop in the 500hp range, and the P15 will probably land in the upper 600 (or lower 700) range.

Honda Urban SUV concept previews Fit-based crossover

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

We've been hearing a lot of rumblings this year about a new crossover based on the Honda Fit, and now we finally get to see what this B-segment CUV might look like. Called the Urban SUV Concept, Honda's new small crossover has made its debut at the Detroit Auto Show, but we'll have to wait until 2014 to see the production version on sale in the US. Honda says the production version of this concept, whatever it will be called, will slot below the CR-V in terms of size and price.
In terms of this concept's styling, there is plenty of the new Honda Accord in its face, and it looks like a more rugged version of the Nissan Juke, as well as a more practical alternative to the Hyundai Veloster. With its short overhangs, the concept measures 169.3 inches in length, making it about eight inches longer than a Fit hatchback and nine inches shorter than the CR-V. Honda confirmed that its new crossover will debut a telematics system for Honda, and it will use one of Honda's new Earth Dreams engines; we previously reported that this engine would be a 1.5-liter I4 paired with a continuously variable transmission.
The next-generation Fit is expected to debut before this new crossover model, and both models will be built at Honda's Celaya, Mexico assembly plant, which is scheduled to open early next year. A new sedan is also expected to round out the lineup of Fit-based products. For more information about this new Urban SUV Concept, scroll down for Honda's official press release.
